"WALT & EL GRUPO" is the story of Walt Disney's journey to South America in 1941 as a part of the "Good Neighbor" program
sponsored by the U.S. State Department during the opening chapters of WWII. (They sent Orson Welles and Leopold Stowkowski as well.) It's a film about art and politics that offers a glimpse into the
lives and times of the select group of artists that accompanied Disney as well as their Latin American counterparts with whom they exchanged ideas.

"WALT & EL GRUPO" is complimented by an original score written in styles from Brazil, Argentina, the Andes as well as vintage American swing. Preparation for the score
included travel to Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and New York to research styles, meet with musicians and scout studios. The original soundtrack was recorded
in multiple locations with a stellar group of 35 musicians. The film will premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival in 2008.
